| Zusammenfassung: | "The first authoritative biography of August Wilson, the most important and successful American playwright of the late 20th century, by a theater critic who knew him"-- "Ever since Ma Rainey's Black Bottom captivated Broadway audiences, August Wilson established himself as the most important American playwright of the last fifty years. His decade-by-decade cycle of ten plays about the African American experience in the twentieth century put Black life center stage, celebrating themes and voices that had been sorely missing from Broadway and regional theaters nationwide. His prolific body of work, as well as his advocacy for equity in the nation's theaters, paved the way for a new generation of African American playwrights. Wilson's life is the quintessential American story, a winding tale that took him from a two-room cold-water flat in Pittsburgh to the nation's most prestigious stages. His life is full of paradox as well as poetic justice. A precocious young man who dropped out of high school because of racism and intolerance, he went on to win a Tony Award and two Pulitzer Prizes for drama. |
